London Knights 2023 - 24 Season Thread (Part 4)

[Ferguson Jenkins]

There are idiots in every walk of life and in every city. By those same standards there are also great people in every city.

Our efforts are probably better focused talking about the on ice play…. Where we can definitively say the Knights have been very good and Rangers have been very bad lately.

Yeah. It’s been good for London lately. These are the dog days of the schedule so hopefully health and suspensions are kept to a minimum. Lines will probably be tweaked but I’d imagine they get more consistent closer to playoffs. Dale900 is getting a lot out of the team again.
I noticed Woolley has hit a bit of a wall lately so I’m interested to see how he fares going forward.

I want to play this game also Otto

So a Fan i London threw a banana at a Black player so all London fans........
One assistant coach was hired in London after killing Keith Magnusan so all assistant coaches in London......
One London player is up for sexual assult so all London players ......

Not really a great arguement you have Otto but hey stay classy

This fan was from Mt Forest, FYI

 

[Knightsfan90]

So the knights play tomorrow maybe we can get back to that!

Simpson gets the start I think he has really found the groove back there

Windsor defeated Erie tonight. Lets not take them for granted Friday. Keep playing the way you have, and keep the after whistle antics to a minimum.

Unable to reconcile this statement.

Upon further reflection, I see what you mean.

 

[Slowpace]

You're, right. I have edited my post. I was especially pissed because of the other post from a Rangers fan wishing the Knights would end up in a bus crash.

Rangers have not directly addressed this. They actually untagged themselves from a Twitter post. However someone has reached out to the team and they let Campbell know what his family member is doing. The OHL removed the post.


I've edited my post. Carry on

Friendly suggestion...get off social media...your blood pressure will thank you!!

 

[OHLTG]

You'll have to wait...We play Windsor this Friday.

The running joke last night was "Can Windsor keep it to under 10 goals?"

These are the kind of games where the weaker team has something to prove and the stronger team has a harder time getting pumped for. I expect the Knights will win but it won't be a blow out

It doesn't matter where the teams are in the standings, these clubs get pumped to face each other.

Not really when it's been one sided a lot..

Or if you get any defense tonight.

 

[windsor7]

Or if you get any defense tonight.

That is very true..

 

[dmead]

Ferguson and Nichol.

Oh I thought you were gonna say Hutchison and Beer

 

[nelli27]

Willmore starts

 

[Holden Caufield]

The twins reunited?
Might be an error. … Since the Knights Twitter also posted the lines for tonight and they are not actually together…

Dale needs to sit down with Cowan and talk to him about turnovers in your own end.

 

[tjziel]

Sometimes I wonder if Kasper Halttunen even sees his teammates. Don’t get me wrong he’s so skilled, but sometimes he ignores the extra pass that could create a Grade A scoring chance, but decides to do it himself. It might be why he’s not on the line with Cowan and O’Rielly which is where he should be. On the 3rd line you can do whatever you want I guess

Cowan is the same way. He's been holding on the puck alot more then he should this year. But I love the hustle of Cowan....always have. Kasper needs to take note there. He was flying in the WJC....not so much here. But don't forget Kasper was always known as a shoot first hockey player.

 

[nelli27]

Cowan has a 20 game point streak (longest in the O) , and leads the O in average points per game. He's not perfect. No complaints here.

You can have a 20 game point streak and still be a puck hog and have troubles coughing it up in your own end. This is the OHL. Many players have lit it up here and not have that same success at the next level. He needs to clean up his game in his own end bigtime.

EDIT: I love how I call him a puck hog and then 5 minutes later he sets up a nice goal....karma


Also, I am a big fan of Cowans....always have been....he just needs to clean up the game in his own end. He coughs it up all the time and if I notice then the Leafs notice. And maybe he's been given the green light to shoot more rather then dish it off like he did in the past.
